After walking up and down Shaoyang Mountain, Wei He didn't see a single strange beast. On the contrary, people from the Shaoyang Sect saw quite a few.
There were too many people on the other side, so he couldn't attack quietly, so he had to wander around for a while and then left quickly.
However, this time many people from the Shaoyang sect came out, and Wei He saw clearly that they actually had some green-eyed wolf dogs in their sect.
These wolfhounds have a very strong sense of smell and almost found him several times.
Fortunately, he had a lot of various miscellaneous medicinal powders on his body, which covered up his human smell.
After staying on Shaoyang Mountain until evening, Wei He returned to Feiye City with the last bit of harvest.
As evening approached, the sun set and the entire city was dyed dim.
In the deserted outer city, a few months ago at this time, you could still hear the sounds of people being beaten in the grass on the roadside, or the voices of gangsters talking.
It's all quiet now.
Wei He walked on the outer city street. At first glance, he felt that the whole street seemed to be losing its humanity.
There are more and more garbage on the ground, including things like dead people's clothes or chamber pots and spittoons that most people don't dare to pick up.
The weather is hot and the plague is rampant. No one dares to pick up these things casually, because the people who pick them up may be dead.
Wei He's lonely footsteps continued to echo on the street.
squeak.
A window of a bungalow on the right suddenly opened, and a human eye, full of bloodshot eyes, peeked out.
Snap.
Something was suddenly thrown out of the crack in the window, and then quickly closed again.
That thing... seemed to be a shriveled rat skin.
A piece of intact rat skin that was peeled off and inedible.
Wei He paused and saw no less than a dozen rat skins piled outside the window of this house.
With a sigh in his heart, he quickly left this smelly place.
Passing through the outer city and inside Ishibashi Town, the situation is obviously much better.
There are footprints everywhere on the ground, which should have been left by the crowd when the sermon opened during the day. There are still blood stains in some places.
Wei He didn't look much and hurried towards his home.
When passing by Huishan Boxing Academy, you can still hear the sound of shouting and practicing martial arts inside.
"Sister, I'm back."
Wei He opened the door of his house and saw Wei Ying carefully standing in the yard collecting clothes.
"Xiaohe, someone from the Cheng family just came to deliver a letter, saying that it was to be delivered to you in person. I didn't dare to touch it. It was left at the door of your room."
Wei Ying finally hung up a piece of clothing and turned around to give instructions.
"Okay, I understand." Wei He closed the door and lowered the latch.
The security issues these days always make him feel a little uncertain.
Although the door was thick, it could not stop the criminals who really wanted to rush in. He had been thinking about how to find some good guards to protect his home.
After taking off his coat and putting on the coat at home, Wei He came to the door of his bedroom.
There is a small stool on the left side in front of the door, with a small dustpan on top, and a square black stone box inside.
There is a letter on the box.
Wei He was stunned.
The Cheng family is also in Ishibashi Town, not far away. Why did they make a special trip to send this thing? And write a letter?
He walked over, lifted up the stone box, walked into the room, and closed the door behind his back.
Carrying the box and sitting at the desk, Wei He picked up the envelope with yellow paper.
hiss.
The wax-sealed envelope was torn open and the light yellow paper inside was pulled out.
The letter paper was unfolded with a clatter, and Wei He looked at it carefully.
The beginning is Cheng Shaojiu's handwriting.
'Wei He personally said: The lonely wilderness is long, and I should walk alone. The situation in the city has changed, and I hope you will make plans in advance.'
Wei He's heart skipped a beat, feeling something bad. He quickly looked down.
Sure enough, the following is all written by Cheng Shaojiu himself.
‘Xiaohe, when you read this letter, I have already left Feiye City with everyone in the Cheng family.
The current situation in Feiye City, led by Qijiameng and Hongjiabao, has gradually become clear. The two sides have gradually begun to clean up the surrounding small and medium-sized forces. If they do not take sides as soon as possible, it is better to get out of the vortex as soon as possible.
Today's foreign towns, if they don't take sides or choose, the final outcome will be the same as the Cheng family. They will be forced to leave.
In this self-written and self-acted drama of kidnapping, frame-up, and robbery, I finally saw through the face of the Qijia Alliance. If I don’t want to go deep into the vortex, I can only stay away.
I sent someone to look for you once before, but it's a pity that you weren't there. Outside the escort office in Cheng's courtyard, someone was already throwing dead money and paper inside. The escort office had to leave even if it didn't.
The only person I feel sorry for during this trip is you. I took all the money you gave me with me. I still have a lot of things to do at home, so I won’t pay you back.
But you mentioned to me before that you need to collect poisonous things and bait for strange animals. I contacted the Guan family for you. If you need anything, you can go directly to the Guan family's Guanji.
drug store.
Finally, there are a few things left for you in the stone box. Maybe you can use them.
If we meet again, if the jade pendants match each other, they will be old friends. - Cheng Shaojiu Liu.'
The letter is not long, but you can see Cheng Shaojiu's struggle when he wrote it.
Wei He put down the letter silently, feeling a little empty.
Feiye City is becoming more and more deserted, and now the Cheng family has actually left.
He didn't have many friends to begin with, and as soon as Cheng Shaoji left, he suddenly felt that no one knew him in the city.
A sudden feeling of loneliness came over me.
Sighing, Wei He found that he seemed to sigh a lot recently.
He put down the letter and focused his gaze on the stone box.
The stone box was divided into three layers. He opened the lid of the first layer with both hands, and there was a jade pendant quietly placed inside.
Fish-shaped jade pendant, emerald green and excellent in texture.
"Yu, Yu? Brother Cheng, you are really..." Wei He had no choice but to take out the small and exquisite jade pendant and put it into the lining pocket. Later, he could ask his second sister to help thread it and carry it with him.
The second layer of stone boxes was quickly opened.
There is a stack of drawings inside.
The drawing paper is brand new, and there is still a faint smell of ink on it, as if it was just written.
"This is...!?" Wei He quickly picked up the drawing and unfolded it.
The entire drawing is more than one meter wide and is square in shape. It is densely painted with various terrains, routes, locations, and some detailed explanations in small words.
"This is a map!" This was the first time Wei He had seen such a detailed map in this era.
This is much more detailed than the maps and drawings he recorded himself.
This map alone, with the various danger points and response methods recorded on it, is worth countless things.
It’s simply priceless!
In this era, the reason why ordinary people cannot leave the city or dare not leave the city is because they don't know where there is danger outside and where is safe.
Only the wandering businessmen of the escort agency can know these key points. These are all key points that have been explored little by little with human life, and they will not be easily revealed to others.
According to Wei He, this map, even if it is not the general map of Yonghe Escort Agency, is not far off.
It may even be a general drawing drawn by simulation.
"This gift is quite meaningful!" Wei He decided in his heart.
He suddenly saw the location marks of the alien beasts on this map. He glanced at them and saw at least five places.
These are all places where strange beasts are wreaking havoc. They are also detailed in small letters to mark what kind of strange beasts are wreaking havoc, what is their activity time pattern, and what methods can be used to avoid the surrounding areas.
This map is like a treasure to him.
Wei He thought of the Cheng family who had left, and quickly found a red dot and a red line on the map.
This is a specially marked red line. There are also small words written on the side: State capital.
"As expected, we went to the state capital." Wei He understood. According to rumors, the state capital is the safest place around now.
Looking at the current situation, maybe he will go there in the future and meet the Cheng family again.
After collecting the map, he carefully placed it close to his body. Then he opened the third-level stone box again.
In this last layer of boxes, there is a booklet quietly placed inside.
The outer shell of the booklet is gray and white, and three large characters are clearly written on the cover: Feilong Kung.
Wei He's breath was stagnant.
"It's actually this...!"
He quickly reached out, took out the booklet, and read through it carefully.
Inside are diagrams of human body exercises, as well as related formulas, training methods, refining prescriptions, and finally the basic diagrams. There is no shortage of them.
He had heard Cheng Shaojiu mention it earlier that his uncle's skills came from the Feilong Kung Fu. Unfortunately, this skill was extremely difficult and no one in the family could master it except his uncle.
In desperation, everyone can only find their own way out and find other martial arts masters to become disciples.
This is also the reason why Cheng Shaojiu joined the Huishan Boxing Academy.
He couldn't practice the Feilong Kung Fu passed down from his family.
Wei He now looked through the booklet carefully and realized why no one in the Cheng family could master it.
Not only can no one do this, but no one dares to do it...
The booklet clearly states: This skill is very powerful, and it is extremely difficult to break through. It reaches the fifth level, and each level is like climbing a building. If there is any hesitation, you will be in a dilemma of life and death.
Beside it are messages from predecessors of the Cheng family.
They are all small black characters, all the last words before the breakthrough. Each name is clearly written in black, but there are traces of bright red blood.
Wei Helu counted down one after another, and there were five people who left messages on it. All five people said they would come back and leave their experiences after the breakthrough, but only one Cheng Zhengxing came back to leave a message.
The other four are gone.
He flipped through it carefully and suddenly felt something familiar.
This Flying Dragon Technique seems to be somewhat similar to the Five Ridges Palm. It accumulates energy and blood very quickly, but the level is extremely difficult.
At the time, Cheng Zhengxing, I heard, was from a grassroots background and didn't have much capital to accumulate Qi and blood, but he was able to break through three times of Qi and blood in one fell swoop and secure his business in the escort agency.
Now it seems that this Feilong Kung Fu seems more like evil Kung Fu.
Wei He's heart moved.
This secret book left behind by Guangcheng Shaojiu would cost more than ten thousand gold if sold. Even if it can increase one's own wealth, no one would be willing to sell it.
But he said nothing and kept it to himself.
With a sigh, he quickly and carefully put the secret book away and placed it close to his body on the inside of the iron plate.
Nowhere in this world is as safe as your own body.
After collecting his things, Wei He quickly went out and headed to Guanji Pharmacy without further delay.
Now that he has the map and the clues to the alien beasts, the only thing he lacks is the alien beast bait.
This is to avoid using the alien bait to lure the opponent away and take the opportunity to escape if you are unable to defeat the alien beast.
However, Cheng Cheng had inquired for him a long time ago, and no one in the exotic animal bait market was willing to sell it.
Only Guanji Pharmacy was willing to sell it to him.
In the past, Cheng Shaojiu helped to contact them, but now Wei He had to do it himself.
